Abstract:
A colorless transparent polyimide having a thickness of about 1 micrometer to about 250 micrometers, an average coefficient of thermal expansion measured in a machine direction and a transverse direction of less than or equal to about 80 parts per million/° C., an average in-plane retardation of less than or equal to about 20 nanometers, an average Yellowness Index of less than or equal to 6, and a transmittance for light at a wavelength of 370 nanometers to 740 nanometers of greater than or equal to about 80%.
Abstract:
A slot die includes a material distribution chamber configured to distribute a casting solution supplied to the material distribution chamber, and a lip in which a slot including an expansion portion is defined and through which the casting solution distributed in the material distribution chamber is discharged, where a width of the expansion portion taken in a first direction is expanded from one side of the expansion portion to a lip end facing the one side and the one side of the expansion portion is apart from the lip end by a predetermined length taken along a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction and substantially parallel to a flow direction of the casting solution.
Abstract:
A film manufacturing apparatus includes: a material supply unit which supplies an intermediate film; a pre-heating unit which pre-heats the intermediate film supplied from the material supply unit; a stretching unit which stretches and performs a first heat-treatment to the intermediate film supplied through the pre-heating unit; a heating treatment unit which performs a second heat-treatment to the stretched intermediate film supplied from the stretching unit; a clipping device which clips lateral ends of the intermediate film to transfer the intermediate film and applies a transverse directional tension to the intermediate film; and a cutting device disposed in at least one of the stretching unit and the heat-treatment unit, wherein the cutting device separates the lateral ends from a center portion of the intermediate film by cutting the intermediate film.
Abstract:
A method of producing a polyimide film, including obtaining a polyamic acid including a repeating unit of Chemical Formula 1: wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are described in the specification; imidizing the polyamic acid to obtain a partially imidized polyimide; determining a sub-Tg temperature of the partially imidized polyimide; and heating the partially imidized polyimide in at least two steps to obtain a polyimide film, wherein a step transition temperature range is within the sub-Tg temperature ±30° C.
Abstract:
